If used as a front desk phone, can my assistant forward/ connect callers to me on my cell if I'm out of the office?

I don't believe so. There isn't a conference button so I don't see how she could call out, get the call to you and then drop off the line.

The reality is that I don't have Call Forwarding. However, I believe it's setup with your carrier and I don't think it requires any unique function in the telephone.

Yes. It's CALLED PORTING YOUR EXISTING PHONE NUMBER. Ooma helps you do this.

This is a one to all type of system. However, all units can isolate the call to the front door intercom exclusively. The newer series provides room to room. I believe this system is listed as discontinued on many resellers websites.

Yes, you can attach through an analog port, which would allow you to transfer calls to that extension, or wire ahead of the system to a pots line, so you dial the directory number to connect. The analog port is more functional, as it can be accessed throughout the system. It depends on which system you are using.

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have

hi, an update on my previous note...I used the locator/intercom feature with my husband. He answered his phone in the basement and it came through the intercom. Thanks for making me aware of this feature!

This was for a new line so I'm not real sure, but you should be able to use Verizon back up assistant to back up contacts and messages and transfer the majorits of information over.

It will work for incoming calls, but if you try to call out, it will go to the cell phone's voicemail instead of the cell phone sending it out.

Yes. If you have configured a VOIP provider (or several), the device will let you choose what line/account you want to use for outbound calls. Unless you specify a default. Overall a well-designed product. Just be aware that it can't do Wifi; I had to move my Internet router to someplace next to a phone outlet in order to connect the base station.

When I want to use my Panasonic while on my desk phone, I must hit talk and dial *11. Then the call leaves my desk phone and transfers to the Panasonic portable. It does not act as an extension phone. I do not know if there is a way for the Panasonic and the desk phone to be on the same call. I doubt it.

Yes, you can. As long as the phone is plugged into the FM transmitter and you have the radio turned to the corresponding station, you can take or make a call hands-free. The person's voice comes through over the radio, and they hear you very clearly as well.

Yes. You can. Once you set up properly it just works like regular telephone. You won't be able to tell the difference.

Yes. You can do 'in line' connection. Connect the line to SENTRY, then connect SENTRY to phone. The downside is your phone will not show the caller id info.

It can as long as your system supports POTS ports and you have a method to queue the incoming call into your system, as this device will only ring twice, which is about 10 to 12 seconds, at which point your system MUST answer the call, or the person will have to press the button again. We are going to use the Linksys SPA3102, since we have used it many times to do similar things in the past and it is very programmable. It is an advanced configuration, not something a novice VoIP admin will figure out. If you Google "Answer your front door with Asterisk" from NerdVittles you can learn quite a bit more about how to do this on an Open Source phone system.

I think you can. I don't. But when someone is on the phone another person can make and receive calls to the same number. It's pretty cool. I hope this answer helps :)

No, it will not. That is really a function of the phone service you have. Whether you have one line or two lines, the phone company will see a "busy" on the line that is in use. Only if you have two lines, and the ability with your phone service to "call forward if busy", would a call to one line be able to be answered by this particular telephone on the second line.
